Otterbox has always ben a high teir phone case brand, and this case was an 80 dollar case. The mag safe batteries literally peeled off and cause an ugly glue outline which one dirty looked horendous. Cannot use wireless charging now that the case is defective and un usable. Due to best buys return and exchange policy i was left with an 80 dollar paper weight

Scratches easily, adds alot of extra circumference around iphone, so it doesn’t easily fit into pockets.

Hello! The new and improved designed cases work seamlessly with Apple's new camera control button on the Apple iPhone 16 line of cases. Our engineering team not only found that the new notch does not diminish the drop protection of the case, we also re-engineered these cases to be Drop+ 7x rated. Please give our Customer Service Team a call, or reach out to us via chat, and we are happy to help with any other questions or concerns you may have.

Products okay.
Best Buy service on the other hand… not so good. I placed the order on a Saturday.. I was expecting to receive the order by Tuesday next week. It finally arrived on Thursday (2 days after). The reason? Apparently FedEx.
Im sure Amazon would’ve been able to deliver the product within the same day the order was placed.
If you want the product.. make yourself a favor and go ahead and pick it up at the store yourself.
We are confident that the retailer will help with this issue. Please feel free to reach out to the retailer you are working with on this. Please reach out to us via chat if you need any product assistance!

Pass- gap in coverage and protection on edge

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
More than likely, it will be the edge or corner of your phone that will hit the ground first…. The gap in coverage on the edge is a flaw in the manufacturer’s design. Exposes your screen edge and frame to damage. I know with my luck, it wouldn’t survive.

Back is slippery. Scratches easily. Hard to hold with cut out on the side. Not sure if another case would have such a large cut out.

Not a very good case. The cut out for the camera is the weak point on the screen. I've broken 4 screen protectors due to this

Do not buy this case! The case offers no protection for the iPhone because of the side button area. Best Buy was great to exchange it for a much more protective case, which I’ve already reviewed. Thank!

Great Case With Excellent Protection .

Very happy when the case, seems to provide great protection and I like the material around the edges which provides a great non slippery grip. Those complaining about the camera control cut out on the side just exactly what with you expect them to do? Yiu can only provide so much protection, that's what the AppleCare is for.

I had the outer box xt 15 pro max now I got the 16 pro max excellent case nice grip strong magnets

The case is awful, I hate the space for the new camera button. Also it seems that the magsafe part is not aligned with the charger because it did not charge at all last night! Also, I cannot believe that Otterbox, produced the Lumina and Figura models that sell at Apple Store, and they did not use the same type of camera button coverage... I had to return it.
